Not Quite Ripe Tomatoes
Who Rocked the Red Carpet, or Not?
PTA Mom Reviews this year's Tomatoes on the Red Carpet at the 2010 Oscars. Our favorites? The uber tomatoes, which we saved for last. Vote for your favorite uber tomato and leave your comments below too.
Cameron Diaz- Metallic seems to have been a theme on the red carpet this year and Cameron shined in this Oscar de la Renta gown. We liked the lack of necklace that allowed the dress and her neckline to stand out.
Elisabetta Canalis- anyone wearing George Clooney looks great in our book.
Penelope Cruz- beautiful red satin gown. I don’t normally like pleated ruffles since it reminds me of the inside of a coffin, but Penelope wears it well.
Charlene Theron-who would ever look at her beautiful face when she’s got those two pom-poms on her boobs
Vera Farmiga- too many ruffles. It looks like a big sea anemone is eating her. Mommy Dearest hair and matching bright fuchsia lipstick didn’t help either. Other than hating everything about her style, we loved her in Up in the Air.
Kate Winslet- she looked uncomfortable; too tight, too straight. And for someone who has said that “skinny is boring”, she could eat a cookie. We liked her when she was a little heavier.
Ripe Tomatoes
Mo’Nique- I know everyone else loved her dress, but I didn’t like the color. She says she doesn't shave, so luckily she didn’t show any of us her hairy legs.
Mariska Hargitay- looking beautiful in a navy blue Vera Wang gown.
Demi Moore- Stunning in her Atelier Versace tiered blush gown. The top of the strapless gown is fitted perfectly; no boobie overage sticking out.
Julianne Moore- The gown washed her out. She’s so beautiful, but the color and straight fit did nothing for her.
Jennifer Lopez- Love J Lo’s curves and that she embraces them, but this dress looks like she’s got a growth on her hip, and no it’s not the twins.
Mariah Carey- So for Mariah, this is tame, but that slit is too high. Can someone please tell her that she’s not a size 2 anymore? I’m beginning to think there are no mirrors in her house.
Queen Latifa- A few more weeks and she’s officially a tomato. Super color for her and loved that there were just the right amount of pleats. She wears her size well.
Sandra Bullock- loved the sleek hair and gold embroidered dress. She looks like an Oscar. Just didn’t like the red lipstick.
Tina Fey- Oh Tina, Tina, Tina. It’s a good thing you’re hysterically funny. Don’t they pay you enough to hire a stylist?
Sarah Jessica Parker- I loved it- totally different and totally SJP, but the head tomato hated it and didn’t think it showed off her great figure.
The Uber Tomatoes
Sigourney Weaver-At 60, the fact that she can pull off the trendy one shouldered look is amazing. And red is a great color on her, but I didn’t like the brooch at the top of her shoulder.
Helen Mirren-we hate her. Seriously, she would be stunning in a burlap sack, but this one was out of the park.
Kathryn Bigelow-Loved the embroidered top, but she could have shown off her neckline a little more. She can use her Oscars as weights to continue her arm workouts- she’s got great arms and she’s 58!
Meryl Streep- at 60, we thought she looked great. Her white, draped dress with shoulder pads was very Dynasty and she wore it well.
Barbara Streisand looked like a dowdy grandma. And is she recycling?
The Head Tomato - We’re biased, but thought the head tomato looked stunning in her purple iridescent Gabrielle Carlson cape and Deviated Necklace.
Oprah- Yes, we know she’s 56 and not a size 4, but it was too much taffeta, mother of the bride looking. Was Steadman hiding under that skirt?
